Monday kicked-off my first day in the gym since July 2nd. This was the longest stretch I have ever gone without working out and boy am I paying for it now. I had so much anxiety stepping foot back into a routine but today I feel normal, like a human. I know that probably sounds weird but while I was pregnant I babied myself and once Payton was born I had to baby myself again due to having a c-section. I have been so upset with my weight gain, my current weight is the heaviest I have ever been, yeah I know it was for a good reason but I am so excited to see it all go away. I have set a goal to lose 20 pounds in two months, this is a little unrealistic considering that means I have to lose 2+ a week but I know I can do and I will do it. My starting weight is 170 and I plan on getting down to 150 by the time I go back to work on April 19th. My overall weight loss goal is 35 pounds, which I hope to shed by June. I know I had said I was joining Weight watchers but I decided to join Jillian Michael’s online program. My routine includes four days in the gym and two days working out at home using my wii Fit, Your Shape and walking the dog. So far I am totally impressed with Jillian’s program and cannot wait to start the customized meal plan and workout program tomorrow. Check in every Wednesday on my “weigh-in Wednesday’s” to track my progress and some weekly recipes that I am trying.
Weigh-In Wednesday
Starting weight: 170
BMI: 27.54
** I do have to note that I have already lost 29 pounds. When I weighed in at my last doctor’s appointment the day before Payton was born I weighed in at 199. I hope some of you find this number funny like I did every time I was weighed. Who would have thunk!? Not me, that’s for sure!

I just wanted to tell you that I follow your blog and love the honest posts. I had my little girl yesterday and have already started thinking about how to lose my 35+ lbs. Let me know how you like Jillian Michael’s program. I plan on fully utilizing the Wii Fit to lose some weight. Good luck!
